    I Bonnie Mosser and Jenga and Mosser Bonnie Meet our ERS Eventing Ambassadors ERS 4-Star Collection 4 - S T S A R R E Delivers When it Counts Eventing demands boldness, stamina and accuracy. There’s a lot to focus on, and any C O N distraction is a potential wipeout. So it goes without saying that eventers need to have full O L I L E C T confidence in their gear, from what they wear to what they sit in. It needs to be solid, without gimmicks; affordable, without being weak; long-lasting without sacrificing function and style. Finding products that deliver, products that are tough yet still beautiful, that offer solutions HHHH rather than create more questions, and most importantly products that won’t break the bank, is a common challenge for every eventer. ers4star.com ers4star.com We recognize these needs as being as extraordinarily diverse and demanding as eventing is itself, and that’s why we’ve created the 4-Star Collection. We’re particular about what we bring you in this collection - each piece must have a ‘reason for being’ in the eventing world or it gets spun from the HHHH lineup. Our approach towards product design demonstrates a bias for strength, grace, beauty and affordability. The product found within these pages is a cut above the usual pack. It enhances your ride and allows you to focus, to enjoy this amazing sport. It’s product you can count on and afford to invest in; product that will meet and exceed your demands as an eventer.
